Field Description
(top row of section) The ASIC described in this section of the output
Total Physical Buffer Memory available per queue for the combined static and 
dynamic buffers
Total Dedicated Buffer Total static memory available on that ASIC
Total Dynamic Buffer Total dynamic memory available on that ASIC 
Interface List of ports managed by the ASIC listed at the top of the 
section
Dynamic Buffer (Conf) The dynamic buffer allocation, as configured
Dynamic Buffer (Actual) The dynamic buffer allocation, as it is before reboot sets the 
value to the configured value
Fixed Buffer (Conf) The static buffer allocation, as configured
Fixed Buffer (Actual) The static buffer allocation, as it is before reboot sets the 
value to the configured value
Over-sub (Conf) Oversubscription ratio to be made available to dynamic 
buffering, as configured
Over-sub (Actual) Oversubscription ratio available to dynamic buffering, as it is 
before reboot revises the memory allocation to static buffers
Pkt Limit (Conf) The packet limit allocation, as configured
Pkt Limit (Actual) The packet limit allocation, as it is before reboot sets the 
value to the configured value

Version 2.5.1 Introduced
buffer check Verify that the configured buffer allocations meet the hardware requirements.
buffer dedicated (1G and 
stacking ports)
Set buffer sizes per port and per queue for ports 1 – 48 and the stack port on 
the S50, and ports 1 – 52 and the stack port on the S50V.
buffer dynamic (1G and stack 
ports)
Set dynamic buffer sizes per port for ports 1 – 48 and the stack port on the 
S50, and ports 1 – 52 and the stack port on the S50V
show buffer allocation 
interface
Display configured and actual static buffer allocation and packet allocation 
values per queue for the 
selected port in an S50, S50V, or S25P.
